Σύνοψη	Robust Root Cause Analysis (Robust RCA) integrates classical root cause investigation techniques — such as the 5-Whys, Ishikawa diagrams, and fault trees — with Taguchi's robustness thinking to identify not only the primary cause of a failure but also the noise factors and variability sources that allow the failure to occur repeatedly. The result is corrective actions that eliminate the root cause and make the system inherently insensitive to future variation.	Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a structured, proactive risk management technique used to identify potential failure modes in a system, process, or product design, evaluate their consequences, and prioritize corrective actions before failures occur. Originally developed for the U.S. military in 1949 and later adopted by NASA, automotive, and manufacturing industries, FMEA is now a cornerstone quality-engineering tool embedded in standards such as AIAG-VDA and ISO 9001-aligned processes.
